Top 5 Reasons to Visit Turks and Caicos in the Summer
In recent years, the Turks and Caicos Islands has seen a significant surge in its visitor numbers, making it one of the most desirable tourism destinations in the Caribbean. And while our ‘beautiful by nature’ islands offer a soul-fulfilling, rejuvenating experience year round, there’s something special about visiting Turks and Caicos in the summer.
Haven’t made your summer plans yet? Let the experts at Hummingbird Luxury help. Here are our top 5 reasons the summer season is one of the best times of year to explore all our islands have to offer.
1. Tranquil Seas
The best time of the year to visit Turks and Caicos for the calmest water is without a doubt during the summer! The primary tourism attraction of the Turks and Caicos is our beaches, which have consistently been rated as the best in the world. During the summer months, the wind tends to die down, making the seas significantly calmer. And calm, glassy seas make for perfect swimming, snorkelling, scuba diving and paddle boarding conditions.
The Turks and Caicos also has an abundance of vibrant coral and sea life, which can be best accessed during the summer months. La Mer Villas are conveniently located on Sapodilla Bay, which is a short distance away from Chalk Sound National Park, allowing visitors easy access to a number of watersports such as kayaking, paddleboarding and jet skiing, to name a few. Our dedicated concierge service can also arrange these activities on your behalf, so you can enjoy a hassle-free holiday.
2. Fewer Crowds
While our beaches are never crowded compared with other island destinations, the summer months are the ideal time to visit the Turks and Caicos if you like the idea of having the whole beach to yourself. The months of August and September are generally considered the slow season across the islands, as this is when visitor numbers tend to decrease and establishments tend to seasonally close for their own holiday time and renovations. This is the perfect time of year to visit if you want to feel as if you’ve truly gotten away from it all, spending your days lounging on world-class beaches where the only footprints to be found in the sand are your own and the ocean feels like your personal swimming pool.
3. Seasonal Seafood
The 1st of August each year marks the beginning of the local lobster season, making the summer months an ideal time to visit the islands if you’d love to savor a delectable local lobster dish, whether at one of the island’s many restaurants, or from the comfort of your villa.
Our private chefs have more than 20 years of experience leading teams at luxury resorts and fine dining restaurants here in TCI and throughout the Caribbean and U.S. How does lobster bisque with cognac cream sound? Or poached lobster with coconut creamed spinach, charred sweet potato and lemon butter sound?
Our chefs will elevate your dining experience, preparing each meal customised to your preferences and needs. And once you’ve had one of their lobster dishes—it will be hard to enjoy lobster any other way.
4. Cost Savings
As the Turks and Caicos is a luxury travel destination, the cost of visiting the TCI and thoroughly enjoying your time in the islands via excursions and other activities can add up. During the slow season, the rates for accommodations tend to fall, as there is significantly less demand than there is during peak times. For this reason, visiting the islands during the summer months may prove to be more economical and cost efficient than visiting during peak times.

5. Getting Here is Easy
The Turks and Caicos has direct flights arriving into Providenciales from airports in major cities such as New York, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Charlotte, Toronto and London. These options make arriving into the Turks and Caicos from anywhere in the world easy and convenient. A stay at any of our villas also includes a complimentary airport transfer, taking you from the airport directly to your villa to begin your luxury holiday.
The beach, sunshine and a team ready to cater to your every need aren’t far from home!
